Chapter 313 My older sister is still alive
The room was quiet. Sun Chuang picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Pah!" He spat out the tea stem.
Ji Lingfeng lowered his head and remained silent, pretending to be very scared.
"Brother Shi, are you scared?"
Ji Lingfeng's fear clearly pleased Sun Chuang.
He felt that a hunter from a small village couldn't possibly not be afraid when he heard that he had saved the chief of Shifeng Village.
Sure enough, the person on the bed stammered after hearing his words, "No... I'm not afraid."
"I have no family left."
When Sun Chuang heard him suddenly say something, he realized that this person was answering the question he had asked earlier.
"Haha." He suddenly laughed out loud, "Brother Xiao Shi, since you saved me, you are the benefactor of my Shifeng Village. Don't worry, no one here will hurt you."
Ji Lingfeng didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
"By the way, young man, you're quite skilled. Would you like to stay at Stonewind Stronghold?"
Ji Lingfeng didn't speak, he just kept trembling.
After seeing this, Sun Chuang walked to the bedside and gently patted his back.
I clearly felt a tremor the moment my palm touched my back.
He whispered, "Brother Xiao Shi, don't worry. Without my orders, no one in the village will dare to make things difficult for you."
"I see you have excellent skills, and I happen to need a skilled bodyguard by my side. You should consider it."
After saying that, he instructed the servant at the door to keep a close eye on the people in the room before leaving.
The moment the person on the bed heard the door close, their back, which had just been bent over, immediately straightened up.
There was no trace of timidity left.
He took a piece of paper out of his hand.
After reading it, I threw it into the incense burner and burned it.
Hefei brought in a message saying that they had discovered that Shifeng Village was actually communicating with the capital.
Things seemed to be more complicated than he had thought.
Meanwhile, in the capital city...
Grand Tutor Zhou looked at the table full of familiar delicacies and couldn't stop smiling.
Shen Cao didn't cook Shen Chen's portion; he no longer needed to worry about his older brother's meals.
This was the first time Zhou Zhou had eaten food cooked by Shen Cao.
She looked at the table full of delicious-looking food with some surprise; it was even better than the palace banquets she had eaten with her grandfather.
"Little Grass Sister, did you make all of this?"
"Yes, my sister is an excellent cook," Shen Qing boasted proudly from the side.
"I had heard Brother Shen mention it before, but I thought that Miss Cao'er could only make some simple food."
"Looking at it now, it's even better than what you get in restaurants."
"No wonder Grandpa likes you. He's always happy for a long time whenever he receives something from Xin'an County."
"Lili, where are your parents? Why are they so slow today?" Grand Tutor Zhou asked when he hadn't seen Zhou Qing and his wife.
Upon hearing Grand Tutor Zhou's words, Zhou Zhou remembered that her father and mother had told her early in the morning that they would not be back for lunch.
"My parents have gone out, so don't wait for them."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Grand Tutor Zhou muttered. "Well, since everyone's here, let's start eating."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and start eating.
The only sounds during the meal were chewing sounds and various strange noises after eating delicious food.
twitter.
Shen Cao watched the group eating happily.
Zhou Zhou usually wields a whip for an hour; she never diets.
Her appetite was even greater than that of some men.
She had never eaten Shen Cao's cooking before, so she could only take a bite of each dish.
However, every bite she tasted was delicious.
After that, she would specifically pick the leftover dishes and fight with Grand Tutor Zhou and the others for them.
That way, she can save the leftover food to eat later.
The last table of food was completely eaten.
If they hadn't been so full, Shen Cao was afraid they would have licked the plates clean.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Zhou belatedly realized that he had eaten a bit too much. He wondered if Cao'er would think that his eating manners were somewhat improper.
She took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth clean, and said somewhat apologetically to Shen Cao, "Sister Cao'er, your cooking is so delicious, I ate too much, please forgive me."
Shen Cao waved her hand, "I love watching people finish all the food I cook."
“I’m happy to see Sister Zhou eating so well, I don’t think it’s impolite at all.”
Zhou Zhou smiled at Shen Cao, "Little sister Cao, you can just call me Lili. I'm not much older than you."
"Okay, Sister Lili."
After finishing their meal, Shen Cao promised Grand Tutor Zhou countless times that she would come again the next day before he reluctantly let her leave.
Shen Qing stayed at the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
At the dinner table, Lili heard that Shen Qing was very interested in her whip-wielding skills, so she said she could teach him.
He immediately decided not to go anywhere else that afternoon, but to stay at Grand Tutor Zhou's residence and learn whip techniques from him.
When Shen Cao came out of the Grand Tutor's mansion, Wei Siyu was already waiting at the door.
When the carriage stopped again, Shen Cao looked at the gate in front of her.
I feel mixed emotions.
After Shen's parents told her about the jade pendant that day, and considering Shen Yu'an's attitude towards her over the past few days, she guessed more or less what was going on.
Wei Siyu led her down from the carriage with practiced ease.
"Young Master Wei." The servant at the door greeted Wei Siyu.
"My young master said that when Young Master Wei arrives, we can just go to the usual place to find him."
Wei Siyu nodded and led Shen Cao into the Shen residence.
He encountered many servants along the way, all of whom greeted him respectfully.
Clearly, Wei Siyu was already very familiar with the Shen residence.
The Shen residence was larger and more luxurious than Wei Siyu's.
It's not surprising, after all, they are the number one imperial merchant in the world, not to mention that the Shen family also produced a concubine.
In a way, the Shen family could be considered to have connections with the imperial family.
Shen Cao felt a tightness in her chest; she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She thought her parents might have abandoned her because they simply couldn't afford to raise her anymore.
That way, she should feel less resentful.
But she also felt that since the Shen family could raise such a kind person as Shen Yu'an, they wouldn't just abandon her in such a place for no reason.
That's why she was willing to come to the capital to find out the truth about what happened back then.
Following Wei Siyu, they arrived at the Shen family's back garden.
The midday sun was warm and pleasant.
Shen Family Garden is very lively.
Flowers of all colors are blooming in profusion.
It attracted many bees, and butterflies danced among the flowers.
Inside the pavilion, a young girl is happily sharing her joy with a man.
They didn't notice until Shen Cao and Wei Siyu got closer.
"Sister Cao'er!" the girl exclaimed with delight upon recognizing the person who had arrived.
However, when the man saw Shen Cao, his face did not show the expected joy, but rather a hint of worry.
He looked at Shen Cao thoughtfully, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Wei Siyu asked.
Wanyue walked over, pulled Shencao to sit down, and happily shared what had just happened with her.
"Sister Grass, do you know that my dear sister is still alive!"
